2. After residing the disk, leave it as a simple volume and install your Linux in it .
3. Make sure you allocate about 40Gb.

What about in a case whereby the C partition has been formatted from within the system with mini partion tool, now the sys can not load windows, when i slot in windows 7 cd to instal it et stucked at the point of installing to partion C which is somehow not recognised. Now am unable to create any partition since the sys is not coming on.
What solution would you suggest tothis kind ofroblem? Aside using cd how can i also make my flash drive bootable yo directly install os from it.
Thanks in advance
